The wind was strong and the day was gloomy. I was afraid that a blizzard was coming.

Several people walked back home against the strong wind. Cao Xiangnan pushed his car into the house and waved to Cao Gang and Wang Dahu who came back with him. He reached in, unbolted the door, opened the door, led the horse to pull the carriage in, and then lowered the bolt.

Cao Gang and Wang Dahu on the opposite side also entered the house, closed the door and went home.

"Don't go out. It's windy outside. Won't someone come in soon?" Qi Wanfeng, who was in the house, heard the noise outside and wanted to get up and go out, but was stopped by Aning, who held him down and prevented him from getting up.

It's so cold outside. If he gets cold when he goes out, it's no joke. This person doesn't even think about his current health.

"I, I know." He was worried in his heart. The wind outside was getting stronger and stronger, and his husband had not come back yet. He had been gone for most of the day. They came back from Sun Bailian's house, and Qi Wanfeng had been waiting for his husband until now.

In the past, he would take a short nap, but today he couldn't sleep. He lay in bed for a while and then got up. Later, Aning fell asleep and got up, chatting with him here. The children also woke up and played in the living room.

The firewood was burning in the house and it was warm, but outside it was icy and snowy, and the cold wind was howling. It was completely two different worlds.

Fortunately, now that they knew that the man had returned, Qi Wanfeng was pulled by An Ning, and he also sat in the house waiting for his husband to come back, but he was still a little anxious in his heart, thinking that the people outside

would hurry in. "Thank you for your hard work today, good horse, I will go get you some hay and some hot water." He untied the carriage and pulled Lao Hei into the stable. This black horse had a bad temper, but

he was not lazy at all when it came to work. It was freezing outside today, and the horse had to run so many places. Cao Xiangnan touched the horse's head and ignored the horse's arrogant temper for the time being. Fortunately, Lao Hei did not spit on his face, but looked at him with his suspended triangular eyes and reluctantly accepted his compliment.

There was no more fodder in the trough, so Cao Xiangnan took some fodder from the house next door and added some more fodder to the trough. The two horses were communicating in their own special way, you touch me with your head, I touch you with my head.

After Cao Dapeng moved into the house, there was a place to graze the horses at home, and he also bought a horse there. Now when he goes to the town, he uses his own horses instead of his own horses, so he has both horses at home.

Not to mention Cao Gang's place, Wang Dahu and his friends each brought a horse with them, including Cao Gang's original horse. They have several horses there, and each one is a good horse. On weekdays, the horses are kept outside, but now that the weather is cold, they are kept in the stable.

If the wind outside was any stronger, Cao Xiangnan would have suspected that he would be blown away.

"I'm back." Cao Xiangnan went in through the back door, opened it, and the two dogs followed him in. As soon as he heard the sounds in the house, he knew that everyone in the house had woken up from their nap. He stuck his head in and saw that everyone was in the living room.

"Dad——" "Uncle——" The children playing in the living room heard the sounds, dropped what they were holding, and ran over. The two dogs heard the voices of their little masters and ran over with their tails wagging, circling around them.

Qi Wanfeng held on to the handrail and tried to get up. Aning next to him reached out and helped him up. He stood up and looked at his husband who had returned home. The anxiety in his heart disappeared at once, and a real smile appeared on his face.

The two people's eyes met in mid-air. Cao Xiangnan reached out and touched the heads of several children. He looked at the person who was looking at him and told him, "I came in to get some hot water to feed the horses. Lao Hei ran a lot today, so I need to give him some water."

"Have you dealt with everything?" Qi Wanfeng asked.

"Yes, everything has been dealt with. Some elderly people and children have been arranged to live in the academy." Cao Xiangnan walked in and lowered his head to ask the children if they were well-behaved at home. The children chattered and told him that they were very well-behaved and even made cakes and brought them back.

Qi Wanfeng saw several children surrounding her husband, and heard what the children said, and said, "They also brought back a lot of snacks and steamed buns."

"They brought them back. Let me see." Cao Xiangnan saw the cakes and steamed buns on the table. His hands were not clean, so he did not eat them. Quite a lot. It seemed that everyone had done a lot of things during the half day he was away. He asked, "When did you come back home from Bailian today?"

"We had lunch at Bailian and came back after lunch. Wei Qi and Wei Lin sent us back." Qi Wanfeng replied, "Oh, yes, Xiangnan, the soup is on the stove, the rice is also cooked, and I stewed the meat with eggs. Is there anything else to do?" Aning put the bones in the soup when he woke up. It was already cooked, and dinner was almost ready.

He knew that Cao Xiangnan would stew soup for Wanfeng every day. Today, Cao Xiangnan was busy and didn't come back, so he stewed the soup as usual. According to Cao Xiangnan, children will grow taller if they drink more bone soup, and the children also like to drink soup, so they still have to stew the soup first.

"Well, OK, I'll make the rest later." Cao Xiangnan asked, "What do you want to eat? I'll go pick some vegetables and stir-fry some vegetables?" "

It's all right." Qi Wanfeng glanced at An Ning, and An Ning nodded.

"Eat meat." An An saw his father looking at him, meaning that meat is enough.

The two younger ones, Xiangzi and Xingxing, were even less picky. As long as the children had rice and meat to eat, they were fine.

"You stay in the house and don't come out. It's very windy outside. I'll make the rest, and we'll have dinner soon." Fortunately, there was dinner when they came back. At this moment, they were really hungry. Cao Xiangnan hurried out with hot water, not letting the children follow him out, and the two dogs followed him out.

Carrying hot water, he poured water for the horses and sheep. He saw Lao Hei drinking water in big gulps. He must have been thirsty after running outside for so long. After Cao Xiangnan took care of the two horses, he left them alone. After taking care of the livestock in the backyard, he went to do other things. After a busy circle outside, he picked a bunch of vegetables and came back.

The stir-fried dishes were quickly cooked, and the steaming hot dishes were served on the table. The children came over, and Aning helped to serve the soup. The children sat on the chairs and did not eat first, waiting for everyone to eat together.

"We can cook here from now on, and we don't have to go out to the kitchen to cook anymore." Cao Xiangnan brought all the seasoning bottles in, and left a place in the dining room for cooking. He put all the seasoning bottles on the table. There

is also a small stove here, and everything is ready. The smoke is discharged outside through a pipe. Although this kitchen is right outside the back door, if it snows heavily and it is difficult to go out, it is better to move everything in here so that you don't have to run out.

"Okay, OK." It was cold that day, and the food would get cold if we didn't eat it quickly. Qi Wanfeng saw her husband was still busy, so she called out, "Xiangnan, come and eat."

"I'll be right there." After moving everything in, Cao Xiangnan also came over and sat down. Hot soup was already in front of him.

After taking a sip of the hot soup, his stomach, which had been hungry for so long, finally got some comfort, and he felt very comfortable.

While they were eating, snow was falling outside and the wind was whistling outside the window.

The lantern in the corner of the house was lit, emitting a warm yellow light. The children at the dining table made noises from time to time and laughed. The strong wind and heavy snow outside had nothing to do with the people in the house at the moment.

The person lying on the bed moved and opened his eyes after a while.

When Zhao Yicheng woke up, he found himself in a strange place. The house was warm and not bitterly cold. Where is this place? In a daze, he remembered that someone was touching him. Who was that person? Who brought him here.

After a while, he felt something was missing around him, and then he remembered that it was his Dabaoer who was missing. He hurriedly supported himself and stood up, and called out hoarsely, "Dabaoer..."

The room was dark, and he didn't know whether it was day or night. He fumbled and opened the door.

There was a fire burning in the fireplace in the living room, and everyone was eating dinner around a table. Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone subconsciously looked at the source of the sound. Dabaoer saw his father, stood up suddenly, ran over, hugged his father's thigh, and shouted, "Dad!"

The child had endured for so long, and now he saw his father woke up, his little face was full of grievances, his mouth was pursed, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Dabaoer." Zhao Yicheng reached out and hugged the child. Fortunately, the child was there. He lowered his head and looked at the child who was hugging his thighs and looking up at him. He reached out and touched the child's face.

"You, you're awake." Huang Guihua saw the man who woke up. He was usually tough in the village, because it was not easy to live with a child. If he was not tough, someone would bully him and the child. But now seeing the man who lived under the same roof wake up, he still felt a little awkward and at a loss. He stood up and said.

"You saved me?" Zhao Yicheng raised his head and looked at a brother and grandmother sitting there, and asked.

"Ah, no, no, it was Cao Silang from our village who sent someone to bring you here." Huang Guihua saw that the man had woken up and came out wearing only a single piece of clothing. Fortunately, the room was warm and not cold, so he still said, "You are wearing so little, you should go into the house and put on another piece of clothing before coming out. The people who came to pick you up have packed your clothes and brought them here. They are in your room." Aunt Liu's invisible eyes moved towards the direction of the sound and said, "Ah, the man is awake. Come and have dinner now."

"Dad, Dabao knows where the clothes are." Dabao pulled his father and took him into the house.

"Come, have some porridge."

"Thank you."

"No, you're welcome."

When they sat down to eat, Zhao Yicheng learned from the boy named Huang Guihua that he was picked up by Cao Jia Silang from Caojia Village, and that he and the child were in the academy in Caojia Village, and some people from their village also lived here. From the child

's words, Zhao Yicheng heard that it was his own child who came to Caojia Village with the village chief. He did not see some of these things with his own eyes, but he also knew that his Dabaoer had suffered a lot for his father, and he felt sorry for the child. After Dabaoer finished speaking, he glanced at his father out of the corner of his eye, fearing that his father would scold him.

Noticing the child's look at him, Zhao Yicheng reached out and touched the child's head. After the food went into his stomach, he felt alive again. At the dinner table, he listened to Huang Guihua and Liu Amao mentioning the person the most, Cao Jia Silang...
